Detailed Review
The Owlet Cam 2 delivers reliable Wi-Fi monitoring in a sleek, compact package. Its 1080p video shone in testing, offering crisp visuals and excellent night vision, while sound and motion alerts kept us informed through the app. The option to pair with the Owlet Dream Sock adds pulse oximetry, appealing to parents focused on health metrics, though this comes at an extra cost. The design is unobtrusive with flexible mounting, but the app can stutter, and it lacks some bells and whistles of pricier competitors. It’s a strong mid-tier pick for quality and simplicity.
